Custom Jordans "Gucci 12's" is a great example of creating what you can not have. A client of mine wanted a pair of Jordans to match his jeans so, I created the Gucci inspired Jordan 12.
Before We Customize Jordans
We must clean the Jordan 12 before we move on to the next step which is Prepping. The preferred way of cleaning shoes before customization requires just a few items.Everything included in the Easy Cleaner Kit.
- Easy Cleaner 8 oz.

Custom Jordans
In order to customize Jordans we are going to need a few more items.
- Preparer And Deglazer
- Cotton Balls
- Acrylic Leather Paint
- Paintbrushes
- Acrylic Finisher
Properly prepare the leather to accept the paint using Preparer and Deglazer. Be sure that you are in a well-ventilated area.Since we are doing Gucci inspired Custom Jordans we need to create the color. Using Olive Green with a drop blue and a drop of gray will get the desired color.Here is a video showing you how to Custom Jordans.
How To Paint Custom Jordans
Now that we have our paint mixed we are ready to apply the first coat to the Custom Jordans. I recommend that you start with the lightest color first because any mistake can be easily covered with the darker color.When doing Custom Shoes it is important that you apply several light coats of paint instead 1 or 2 heavy coats. Lighter coats does not only dry faster it also help keep the paint flexible which will prevent cracking.
